mystical shaman oracle

Card for the day

THE CIRCLE


THE ESSENCE:
Unification, interconnectedness, and a sense of continuum is what this card implies. The Circle reminds us we are all One—dancers in a unified continuous inclusive circle. This card reminds us of the cycles of life and the evolving self, ever changing, and always connected: human, Spirit, Nature, the cosmos, all intrinsically connected.

THE INVITATION:
When the Circle appears, it reminds you that you are connected to everything and everyone, including to Spirit. Spirit’s essence beats in your heart and inspires you to co-create your world, knowing that you count, that you have purpose in this world. Imagine even a smile to a stranger can change the course of a life. When the Circle invites you to dance in the sacred steps of life, know that your work, your love, your service brings greater value than you can know. Stay the course; keep dancing, and all will be well.

THE MEDICINE:
When the Circle comes as your medicine, you’re meant to come to an understanding of the importance of decay and letting go, the importance of dying to an old form and being reborn anew. If you are faced with the challenge of loss or disappointment, remember this: in the Circle of Life, nothing is ever wasted. Love will seek itself again, prosperity will come from a new idea or opportunity, and Spirit always waits for you to find your place in the dance again.

What else do I need to know?

THE TIME MASTER


THE ESSENCE:
Time is a construct of the human mind through which life events are seen to flow in a straight line, from past to future. This, however, is an illusion. Time moves in patterns, fractals, sometimes turning like a wheel and others moving straight as an arrow. Humans see time like a ticking clock, and this image reminds us that there is only so much of it to spend in a life, like a kind of currency. At any given moment, you can see time in all its infinite potential: at once vast and all encompassing, then shrunken and finite. It all depends on perspective.

THE INVITATION:
When the Time Master visits you, he asks a most important question: “Will you break free from limited cause-and-effect thinking by moving beyond the linear illusion, and welcoming the cyclic quality of time?” You find yourself in a moment when the wheel of time turns, and you’re able to influence the past, thus changing the present and future simultaneously! This is the true test of the Time Master. You’re being invited to take back your power, so let go of the past and choose to step into your life. In this moment you are all-powerful. You are the Time Master. Anything is possible now.

THE MEDICINE:
Sometimes it appears that you are running out of time. You worry you won’t get what you need or want. Everything gets stuck like a logjam. This is only in your mind. Time expands and contracts according to your ability to be mindful and observant. Fully engaged in your “now,” it’s time to release the story of your past. Equally, it’s time to release your need to know the details of the future. All the treasure magically reveals itself when you remain relaxed and present to what is directly in front of you and nothing else. Then you realize you have all the time in the world. You will never run out of it!
 
Where is this going?

EARTHKEEPER


THE ESSENCE:
Just as you’re involved in co-creating your world, you are also responsible for its well-being. The Earthkeepers are dedicated to the stewardship of the Earth and all life. They choose to hold the sacred dream of a planet where all beings live in peace and where the rivers and the air are clean. Remember that everything you do has an impact for seven generations.

THE INVITATION:
You have outgrown your small dream of success and achievement and are ready to dream big, with possibilities beyond your wildest expectations. Take on the mantle of the Earthkeeper, and reach out to a friend in need whom you may not have been in touch with for some time. Take care of your pets, and feed the strays that come by. Clean up your yard, as this is a reflection of your relationship to the Earth. Grow the sacred dream, and your personal life will flourish. Remember, it’s not about “me” any longer.

THE MEDICINE:
As you care for your body, you show your care for Mother Earth, so begin with the stewardship of your health. What are you putting in your mouth? Are you feeding on foods and thoughts that are not good for you? Start doing what you know will be good for you today.
